A New Currency Emerges Global Investors Seek out Rare and Unique Ultra-Luxury Real Estate

hen the cracks began to show in the seemingly unbreakable boom that was the U.S. housing market, smart money — as is often the case — ran for shelter in an effort to insulate itself from the coming doom. That’s the thing about smart money: it stays around, it’s prepared and it tends to grow when times are tough for the broad markets. Just like a diamond created under pressure, it comes out much more valuable if given the proper amount of time. Nowhere else is this paradigm more evident than in the global luxury real estate market, where smart money, savvy investment and the creation of the world’s rarest properties have created a new kind of currency.

Witness to the World Photojournalist Michael Christopher Brown Puts Conflict in Focus By Karen Brost

W

hile growing up in the quiet farming community of Skagit Valley in Washington State, Michael Christopher Brown eagerly awaited the moment when his father, a physician, would return home from a trip overseas with photos that he took. “We just could not wait to see what he had seen,” Brown describes. Little did he know that his boyhood curiosity about the world would eventually lead to a successful career as a photojournalist. Today, Brown is always on the road, living out of a backpack most of the year, on a constant quest to capture images of people, places and situations few would ever YHQWXUH WR VHH IRU WKHPVHOYHV ³7KRXJK , KDYH SKRWRJUDSKHG LQ SODFHV RI FRQÀLFW OLNH Afghanistan, Libya and the Democratic Republic of Congo, I have also been drawn to street photography in places such as Russia, India, China and Mexico,” he explains.

Brown has worked as a contributing photographer at National Geographic magazine since 2005, and his work has also been featured in Time, Newsweek, Atlantic Monthly, The New York Times and Smithsonian magazine, among many others. He was also the subject of the 2012 HBO documentary Witness: Libya DERXW KLV H[SHULHQFHV GRFXPHQWLQJ WKH FKDRV DQG FRQĂ€LFWV WKDW EURXJKW GRZQ /LE\DQ UXOHU 0XDPPDU *DGGDÂż Given his impressive bio, you might assume that Brown travels with a VLJQLÂżFDQW DPRXQW RI SURIHVVLRQDO SKRWRJUDSK\ HTXLSPHQW EXW WKDW LV QRW WKH FDVH He much prefers the more unobtrusive advantages of using his camera phone. “The main advantage, for me, is that a phone is not perceived as a camera,â€? he explains. “Someone using a phone to take pictures is not taken as seriously as someone using a camera, even if it is a small point-and-shoot. What professional photographer (or photographer who takes ‘good’ pictures) uses a phone to take pictures? That possibility has not entered the public mind, though that is beginning to change.â€? Brown was also recently commissioned by Time Magazine and the New York Times Magazine to take over their Instagram feeds. “This meant I was hired not only as a photographer but as an editor, taking pictures, then moments later selecting which images would be seen by hundreds of thousands of subscribers. I also contribute to the National Geographic magazine Instagram feed, as one of NGM’s contributing photographers.â€? He described the appeal of working with this form of social media. “When I am working for publications with hundreds of thousands or millions of followers on Instagram, it is that ability to almost instantaneously communicate what I see with a large audience, and to have a dialogue with them, which is empowering, direct and lends itself to more effective and targeted reporting.â€?

Traveling to such remote locations around the world gives Brown a unique perspective. “What continues to surprise me is how different the reality might be from what the media may present it to be.

It is art fair as cultural festival, an idea pioneered by Art Basel, and one which has been a constant both in its eponymous show in Basel, Switzerland and in its sister show in Miami Beach. “I think it goes to the more important aspect of cultures being shared,â€? says Goodman, “people from different cultures all over the world meeting and socializing and getting to know each other.â€?

The Wealth Of Data 5 Things to Consider About Your Most Valuable Asset - Your Data BY SCOTT WALCHEK

And this incomprehensible activity is projected to expand exponentially as the number of connected devices grows to double that of the world’s population by 20151. With this rapid expansion in connectivity comes another growth of even greater ferocity — the mass and value of your personal data.

“All the interactions in your connected life leave a personal trail of data that is both increasingly revealing and, to some, remarkably valuable.” Unlike the national Do Not Call List, which gives consumers a one-stop location to have their telephone numbers removed from telemarketing databases, personal data collection and marketing Ǧ Ǥ ϐ consider when thinking about the protection of your online data: 1. First, value your data. Most of us would consider our cars one of our more prized possessions. We care for them, insure them and protect them from harm. Now think, as of this writing, the combined market capitalization of the world’s three leading auto manufacturers — General Motors, Volkswagen, and Toyota — is an astonishing $287B. By comparison, however, it’s revealing that the combined market capitalization of Facebook, Google, and China’s search giant Baidu is over $350B. What is so remarkable about this comparison

is that these Internet leaders achieve their results by selling the information collected from the data trail you leave when you use their services. We rarely stop to think about the value of our data, but many experts theorize that shortly we will be able to personally monetize our private data storehouse. If the capital markets value companies so highly for using your data, we should begin to consider its inherent value, as well. 2. Follow the money. Free, really isn’t. While it may seem too simplistic to consider the way a company makes money when thinking about your data, it is at the very core of the data privacy narrative. The most obvious test to determine the degree of personal data exploitation is the “implied business model” test. If you use a site for “free,” but it is littered with advertising, then it is highly likely that they are using your interactions with their content to increase advertising rates (advertisers will always pay more when they can more clearly determine the precise target of their ads).

Another is “free” to use ϐ Ǥ an offender of proffering your personal data (preferences, contact details, behaviors). While there may be a blend of free and paid options, another means of discerning how a service will use your data is in their policy statement. When you sign up to use an online service, you are agreeing to an End User License Agreement that

makes the rules by which you’re engaging with their service. In most cases, these agreements (or similar policy statements) will indicate the extent to which the company whose service you are using will Ǥ ǡ ϐ Ǥ will tell you that when you use their service you give them the right to do anything with both the data they collect about your site visit (where you click, how long you’re spending on each page you view, how many pages you view, how frequently you return, etc.) and the content you post on their site. But sometimes this distinction is not clear. Take Facebook, for example. While they make it clear that you own the data you post to their site (photos, videos, comments, and other posts), they also indicate that they can use that data in whatever way they please. 4. Know your data’s health and whereabouts. Security technology must evolve just to stay ahead of those determined to break it; today’s assurances of data safety and privacy are tomorrow’s

GET ENERGIZED. GO BEYOND. Make “Go Beyond” Your New Mantra By Barry Labov

very company, every person, every organization has a mantra whether they realize it or not. It might be “simple is better” or “make every moment count” or “live every day like it’s your last.” Whatever it might be, we’re guided by our mantras in life. For me, it’s “go beyond.” That can mean anything from going beyond the expected to going beyond the challenge to going beyond the safe. Going beyond can not only be energizing, it can make what you do each and every day all the more meaningful. You can see and feel the energy that’s generated when people go beyond. I used to be in the music business, kind of. I wrote jingles — those irritating little 30-second ditties that you couldn’t get out of your head. I would record singers who would try out for the honor of singing a particular jingle. I knew something was magical when I felt energy from their performance, when I could see they were taking it beyond. I actually felt uplifted. I was transformed. Technically, that singer may have missed a few notes or had some imperfections, but there was something about the performance. Listen to the song “I Won’t Back Down” by Tom Petty. I feel great energy from that performance and message, but technically, Petty’s singing could be far better. That’s the energy that comes when someone goes beyond.

“People who go beyond are those who love adventure ... if they let their fear stop them, they’d never realize the energy and adrenaline rush that comes from pushing the boundaries.”

CRUISING ALTITUDE INDUSTRY Other examples of people who go beyond are those who love adventure, such as sky divers, bungee jumpers and cave divers. They move past their fear every time they embark on a new adventure. If they let their fear stop them, they’d never realize the energy and adrenaline rush that comes from pushing the boundaries. In business, going beyond can be a challenge. It’s easy to get bogged down in day-to-day details, processes and rules. That’s when you risk losing site of going beyond. You focus on just getting one task done only to move on to the next. You become an order-taker. It’s hard to be energized by that. But when you take the time to strategize and come up with ways to go beyond what you’re asked to do, that’s when it gets interesting. I worked with a luxury company that was introducing a new technology for their product. They realized they had all the plans in

If someone told me I had to ǡ ǯ Ǥ about making the training program something that was more than a reiteration of dry, factual rules that everyone must follow. We strategized a way to inform learners about compliance by using a knighthood theme, communicating the information like a story of nobility and chivalrous deeds. It took learners on a quest for all that is right and good. It captivated and taught them about compliance in an engaging way. We took what could have been a very dry, boring training program and transformed it into something that went Ǥ Ǥ

CRUISING ALTITUDE INSPIRE But, you may ask, what underlies or determines this difference between the short- and long-term thinkers or possibly between the immediately gratifying gamblers and the long-term investors? This answer demands a deeper look at the basics of human behavior and particularly, the motivations, inspirations or drives behind all human thought and action.

“In follow-up studies, the researchers found that the children who were able to wait longer for the preferred rewards tended to have greater life outcomes, as measured by a series and variety of life measures.” Just as for the children above, adults also tend to live their lives by different time horizons, or degrees of patience. This is primarily due to the unique set of values or priorities they hold and the actions that they feel are most to least important in their lives. These unique sets of values ultimately determine each of their short- or long-term strategies and destinies. Every decision an adult makes is determined by what they feel will give them the greatest advantage over disadvantage and greatest reward over risk at any moment in time.

he’s a caring and charismatic, ultra-talented, once-in-a-generation, one-woman wrecking crew full of stage presence, charm, business savvy and good fortune, who grew up in a tiny town in Oklahoma. Since then, she has risen to take over the larger towns of Nashville, LA and New York and most points in between. And while traditional tracking apparatus exist that you could use to tabulate her success, like record ǡ ϔ ǡ ǡ ǡ how about we keep it simple and measure it like this: she’s known and admired worldwide by one name, Reba.

But when the reviews came out, they said I had won their hearts. I noticed people started acting differently towards me. I became a Broadway favorite. I loved it. I’ve always wanted to be loved and accepted and when it came from the Broadway world, wow! That was wonderful!â€? When it comes to record sales, few performers have hit the magical 30 million mark that Reba has eclipsed in her career, and the commercial success is what opened the eyes of Hollywood and Madison Avenue and Broadway. Singing, dancing, acting, hosting, producing, writing — Reba does and has done it all. “I love to perform,â€? she tells Jetset. “I love to entertain people and I love to BE entertained. I love to act. I do this while I’m on stage singing and on the TV shows. Writing is a major accomplishment for me when I write a song! It’s not very often that I do this and I accept it as a

I have met so many people through them that are the biggest-hearted people I know. Some you would recognize and some you wouldn’t. But God does — stars in their crown!â€? What’s next for Reba to accomplish? Before you can answer that question, you have to ask yourself another. What makes you think someone with a Midas touch, records of gold, and an alwaysevolving sterling silver brand would ever even consider slowing down? “Like Dolly (Parton) said, “Then what would I do?â€? I love to go on vacations, but we’re always scheming and plotting about what we’re going to do next while we’re on vacation,â€? Reba told us ™Š‹Ž‡ •Š‡ ™ƒ• Ď?‹––‹Â?‰Ž› ‘Â? ƒ •Š‘”– ˜ƒ…ƒ–‹‘Â?Ǥ Dz ÂƒÂ”Â˜Â‡ÂŽÇŻÂ• Č‹ Žƒ…Â?•–‘…Â?ÇĄ Reba’s husband and long-time manager) favorite saying is, ‘You

I have so much to learn on that front. Mama always said I have the attention span of a gnat, so moving from one project to another keeps my attention and I promise you, I never get bored!â€? One of the biggest career crushers for entertainers is an inability to adapt. Whether it’s to new trends, new audiences, new wealth, new life experiences, new attention, new technology or new consumer habits, history is riddled with thousands of careercrushed corpses. In fact, it’s the norm, and it’s also the complete opposite of Reba’s career. Literally, there are millions of people ™Š‘ Â?Â?‘™ ‡„ƒ ‘Â?Ž› ĥ ƒÂ?

A career that’s constantly on center stage and under the bright stage lights of performing means Reba constantly has opportunities to be around people that she’s a fan of, as well, which isn’t always as great as it might seem. “I’ve always been leery of meeting my heroes and people I admire, being afraid that they would turn out to be an asshole. There’s nothing worse,â€? she admits. “I’m a fan of big-hearted people. People who give of their time, their money and

know what you could do?’ (When he says that) I always know it’s gonna be a good idea.â€? Thankfully, most of those good ideas have become available for all of us to enjoy. When you check the internal wiring and circuitry of ultra-successful people like Reba and the readers of Jetset, the people that create and perform and build and dream and heal and Â?ƒÂ?‡ ˜‹•‹‘Â?• „‡…‘Â?‡ Â”Â‡ÂƒÂŽÂ‹Â–Â›ÇĄ ›‘—ǯŽŽ Ď?‹Â?† ƒÂ? ‹Â?–‡”Â?ƒŽ †”‹˜‡ –Šƒ– ‹• well beyond rare. It’s supernatural. It’s all-encompassing, and it is something Reba knows she was blessed with and something she never takes for granted. “God gave me a special talent that I know if I hadn’t used it, He would have given it to someone else.

T

he media days of the 83rd Geneva International Motor Show drew 10,000 journalists to view the latest models from the auto industry’s leading manufacturers. Some of the most desirable automobiles were unveiled this year. Such cars as the Lamborghini Veneno with a price tag of $3.9 million, the new Chevrolet Corvette Stingray convertible, the brand new Aston Martin Rapide S Coupe, as well as the outstanding brand new Rolls Royce Wraith were decked out for display. The show also revealed the slick looking McLaren P1 and the Ferrari LaFerrari, part of a new generation of supercar hybrids, but featuring gas engines and electric motors with maximum speeds over 200 mph.

aving a private elevator to a penthouse is one thing, but having a private gondola to your mountaintop home takes exclusivity to a whole new level. Yet this is a privilege that a few fortunate homeowners at Kadenwood in Whistler, British Columbia, Canada get to enjoy. In a ski resort town that has become internationally famous for its luxury lifestyle, Kadenwood is in a league of its own, and as a result is attracting interest from discerning buyers around the world. This exceptional community offers an experience quite unlike anything else, so it’s hardly surprising that purchase activity in Kadenwood has been leading Whistler’s real estate market. Of the 60 home sites originally available, only 13 currently remain. Located in a richly forested sanctuary on the side of a mountain 3,000 feet above sea level — the highest building elevation permitted at Whistler — these estates provide owners and their guests with stunning, sun-exposed views of mountain peaks and lakes below.

The spacious lots range from 1/3 to 1-1/2 acres, with homes occupying 5,000 to 10,000+ square feet. A network of ski-in, ski-out trails meanders down to the valley and is maintained by a private dedicated PistenBully groomer. ƒ†‡Â?™‘‘† ‹• –Š‡ Ď?‹”•– ”‡•‘”– Â?‡‹‰Š„‘”Š‘‘† ‹Â? ƒÂ?ƒ†ƒ –‘ Šƒ˜‡ a private gondola exclusively for homeowners’ use. The dedicated Doppelmayr gondola accommodates eight people at a time and takes residents home from the convenient Creekside village in just four minutes. Although Whistler is legendary as a destination for skiing, it has been growing its reputation as a year-round resort, with lakes, rivers, and an active mountain biking and hiking scene, as well as three spectacular golf courses. Enjoy the luxury of Kadenwood — a hideaway and a haven for today, for tomorrow, for all seasons and for all time. Please call 1-800-590-4029 or visit www.kadenwood.com.

Anita Lang, owner and principal designer of IMI continues: “Clients’ dreams run the gamut: from boutique closets with shoe storage for a thousand pairs to hidden TV built-ins everywhere through the house.â€? There are, however, four main principals that remain consistent throughout luxury design. Quality. In contrast to automated, mass produced pieces is the luxury of hand crafted, bespoke custom items from true craftsmen and artisans executing a work of art that will last for years to come. A beautiful welted seamstress upholstered leather chair to a hand carved ’ƒÂ?‡Ž‡† ™‘‘† Ď?Žƒ™Ž‡••Ž› ‰”ƒ‹Â? Â?ƒ–…Š‡† ƒ”‡ –Š‡ ‡’‹–‘Â?‡ ‘ˆ Ž—š—”›Ǥ Comfort.

Design Integrity. While design styles may vary from client to client, design principals of scale, proportion, color theory and balance create timeless beauty and relevance applicable to every taste. Sensory Design. Luxury is not only creating a feast for the eyes but for all the senses. Wonderful aromas, varied tactile sensations from soft to smooth and of course peace stimulating sounds or music should all be engaged. Lang concludes, “A lost opportunity for excellence is one of the most disheartening events in life. When my clients engage me for a project, either new construction or a remodel, I make sure not to miss a chance to improve their experience by incorporating both grand and subtle luxury into everyday life.â€?
